870 Compact?

I was at Gander Mountain today and handled a Remington 870 "Compact" as it was tagged. It kind of felt like an 870 Junior/Youth model. It was 12 gauge, 3" chamber and had green digital camo funiture, foreend and full sized buttstock. It felt a lot more handy and easier to move with than a "regular" 870. It had an extended mag tube. Has any one seen these? Is it really a "compact", or was it mistagged and made think it was smaller, lighter, and faster? If it is a compact...I want one. Tell me what you all think.

JD thanks for the link, but that is not what I looked at....It had an un ribbed barrel and a full length magazine tube Digtal Green (Marine) Camo furniture. Barrel was about 18 inches. It was definitely smaller and lighter, would be the bees knees for HD.
